Those WERE the days !!!!

There is no need for 65+hp bikes and the tracks they can design to exploit them. Huge jumps with super short approaches leave little room for error. 200 and 300cc would do it and we’d never know the difference while watching the racing.

Of course, it also comes down to the decisions the riders make. You can rack yourself up just as bad on a 250 as on a 450..

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:57:02 +0000http://www.motorcycledaily.com/?p=21583#comment-40222Blame it on extremes. I remember motocross when it was a cross-country event on a closed course. Jumps/bumps/whoop-do-doos were what occurred naturally. But that wasn’t enough. Everything these days is taken to extremes. Promoters designed the obstacles to launch riders higher and higher. Whoops became small hills. Doubles/triples deliver severe punishment, should you come up short. Fun to watch, but sure is hard on the bones. I am glad I raced motocross when it was fun and challenging; not a threat to live and limb. Prolly makes me sound old … but my limbs are all intact and I can walk upright.

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:21:30 +0000http://www.motorcycledaily.com/?p=21583#comment-40173That sucks, I like Motocross more than Supercross. Heal well and soon Ryan.

I sometimes lose perspective as a fan, my minor diminishment in the perceived “quality” of racing viewed equals Major pain or worse for the actual Competitors.

BTW What’s up with the CAPTCHA? Is that level of “security” against automated “replies” really necessary? Hope third times the charm…

Wed, 25 Apr 2012 23:12:39 +0000http://www.motorcycledaily.com/?p=21583#comment-40167There has to be something fundamentally wrong with SX when EVERY rider with a chance to win the title including the series champion himself has crashed out for the season.
